Finished Iraq scans. Edits are happening as we speak. Might do some portrait tests – on film – next week.

Scanning. Still. With many more months to go. Shooting? What’s that?

Finished my Web site! http://www.billputnam.net

Organizing and editing for a Web site.

Organizing my life. Well, my office anyway.

Bought a video camera.

Finished spring semester. On to summer school.

Headed to Philly for the big game.

Semester’s about over. Gotta get motivated. Just ordered a new computer and buying a HDV cam. Work work work planned for the break.

Starting school next week. Thank God for the benefits of indentured servitude.

Back from Platypus. Gone through a name change.

Registered for school. Love it.

Done dumping CDs to hard drives. Will continue making digital contact sheets. Interesting looking at that stuff.

The Maine Workshops awarded me a full-ride scholarship to attend The Platypus Course this August.

Currently, I am chained to my dining room table making digital contact sheets from a decade’s worth of negatives. Stay tuned for updates on that. Whilst scanning negatives and chromes, I am researching ways to grow a third arm to competently operate an audio kit.

I live near Washington, D.C. covering The Scene for a variety of editorial clients. I also work, from time to time, for NPR as an editorial assistant. I am pursuing a variety of personal projects in the area too.

I am returning to university this fall to finish my BA in history.

I’ve considered myself a photojournalist since picking it up just prior to an Army deployment to Kosovo back in 1999. During that deployment I decided to concentrate on this trade full time. After spending 2004 in Baggers I left the Army in June 2005. In September 2005 I returned to Iraq as a civilian photog. Most of my time there was spent embedded with the Army.
